HI, I have a DS920+, and with black friday coming up, I want to get drives for it so that I can use it as a personal storage drive (like dropbox) and also as a Plex server.
I was thinking that I am best to have 4 drives that are at lest 8tb.
There are also two additional storage/memory drives on the bottom of the NAS.
My questions are:
1. What drives do you recommend? (I have seen WD Red, red plus, red pro, and seagate ironwolf, iron wolf pro, and ironwolf pro nas).
2. What amount of storage should I have for the Plex server use? Is 32 TB enough, or should it be higher?
3. It is necessary for me to get SSDs for the NAS (slots on the bottom), what is the pro/con for them?
4. Is there any info or video on how to run/maintain a plex server.....I am pretty new to this.
thanks in advance for your help!
